Nevertheless, Seren snapped out of her thoughts as West answered his own question.
"Yes, I'd say you're hit the nail on the head there. Plants usually evolve and adapt for one of two reasons. Food or defence. In this case... since they're more than capable of looking after themselves, food becomes their primary target and the reason for their adaptions."
"And free food is the best food, and not dying, that is awesome too." West said, nodding wisely. He was so wise, he knew things.
"Babbitty Rabbitty and her Cackling Snargaluff." He murmured. It
would have made a better story. "I wonder if the Snargaluff knows that we think it looks like a stump? I mean, what if the Snargaluff is just a Snargaluff, and its the stump that looks like
it? This is SO cool professor. I'm so gonna tell my dad!"
